wolfcathorse Posted July 22, 2015 #3177 Share Posted July 22, 2015 With Carly discussed now, any thoughts on Drew Devine? :confused: Drew is great. Had him many times on Monarch (or was it Majesty??). He is a music major and is very knowledgeable. His TV show theme trivia is outstanding. His Quest will keep you jumping. He is high energy, not as frantic as Ricky Matthews, but he's Canadian with that Canadian self-depreciating humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome, thanks! At this point I've had John Blair, Graham Seymour, Topi Ylonen, and Carlos Torres - out of those I've liked Graham the best and Blair the least.

DonnaK Posted July 25, 2015 Author #3197 Share Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) He expected to be starting his vacation on 10/27. I have not heard from him anything different. I'm confused. A few posts ago, and a few pages ago, you said that Michelle was covering Carlos' vacation and he was returning on Oct 27. He's been on for 4 months already (since March) and is due to begin his vacation this week. Michelle should be covering sometime soon until Oct 27. I am looking to clarify "sometime soon" to the exact date, which should be this week. Edited to add: Michelle posted on FB on July 22 that this was her last week home before sailing the Caribbean (supporting my posting that Carlos is beginning his vacation this week, and will be handing off to her). She also posted that she will be joining Rhapsody in November for the Brazilian season Edited July 25, 2015 by DonnaK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonnaK Posted July 25, 2015 Author #3200 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Sorry....sorry....he should be back....I am trying to follow his thread back and forth....and I got confused. I just tried to look at Michelle's FB page and it sounds as if she is currently on vacation and heading to a new assignment in a week or so. Hard to understand from her writing what ship she is heading to. SO SORRY, for confusion. No Problem. I get very confused too. Michelle's post does say that she'll be in the Caribbean, so by process of elimination, she's joining Majesty (even though that's technically Bahamas). The other ships in that region all have CDs assigned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
